We will discuss topics such as hospital reform, system financing, access to modern therapies, drug policy, digitization, and new technologies. We will also cover topics related to mental health, health insurance, the role of prevention, and digitization and new technologies.

We will discuss new competencies for pharmacists, nurses and physiotherapists, as well as the occupational safety of medical personnel in the context of legal regulations and organizational standards.
